Recently, 3D-graphene infused polyimide (3DC/PI) films have shown to be an effective protection coating for electrostatic discharge in spacecraft. However, these films are not suitable for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) due to atomic oxygen (AO) erosion. Here, we used Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (PO...
